TO ALL WHOMlTMAY GONCERN: Y

Be it known that I, .ANDREW J. BROWN, of Nw Castle, in the State of Delaware, have invented a Gombined Wash-'Stand and Night-Stool andI do hereby declare the following is a full and exact description thercof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, an'dfto the letters of reference 'marked thereon.

The object of my invention is to combine in one article of furniture a wash-stand and night-stool, and to construct the parts of the night-stool, and soarrangle them within the wash-stand, that no smell or noxious eluvia is allowedto escape.

Figure 1 is a section through the wash-stand.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the night-stool, showing the interior.

A is the wash-stand, having a dat top, a, and two panelled sides, al. Two drawers, a, are tted in the upper half ofthe wash-stand. The lower half of the wash-stand is made with a plain panel on the front side, and a panelled dodig'B B,hinged at the hack on each side'. The-se doors ,can be thrown wide open, to permit the withdrawal ot thestool-box, C, on either side, 'to suit any corner of the room in which it may be placed.

C is the night-stool, the lid of which, C', its'tightly over a bead o r ledge, c2, thus making an extra tightjoint.

The interior is divided into three spaces, d dldz. `el is for the waste paper, d!" for the stool-pan, d2 for the water-can and slop-can d3 d4. It also contains a ladle with a long handle,.for rinsing the top of the stool-pan or extracting the faeces from the pan. The cansd3 d* are of tin, having close-tting Stoppers di. The three` spaces, dell d2, are covered by three inside lids, e e1 e2, the middle one, el, being used as the seat. These inside lids, in conjunction with the outer lid c', are an additional security against the escape of eiiuvia- 4 The stool-pan, H, is made of tin.` Thebottom, la, is -in the form of a double cone, to prevent the rising and spilling of the faeces. It has a verylong neck, and upon it is soldered a wide, daring, saucer-shaped-top, h2. This neck is closed by a tight stopper, h3. The stool-pan. is secured in position by three loose clamping-pieces 7c lek, which t close to the neckh, when'in place. The division-board tsecures'the Vcans d3 and ddin pla-ce, The tight-litting bottom d prevents any `escape from the stool-box C into the drawers a? above,

The stool-box-C has a groove, m, cut' on each side, which fit upon projecting ways fixed to therfront and back of .the wash-stand, and upon which the box C slides in and out. Ring n is for'holding-to in withdrawing the'box H, .which might also run on casters, if preferred.

The stool-pan H would be better made of'earthenware. It-n'ould bemore durableand could be kept cleaner.`

By this construction of a clOSed'StOOl-pan, H, and its arrangement Within the boXjG, and that again within the wash-stand, all noxious eflinvia is prevented from escaping; i vLdonot claim simply the combination of a wash-stand and night-stool, but

I claim the box C, divided into separate apartments, each having its appropriate lid or cover, with the central stool-pan H, having conical sides it, neck hl, flaring saucer-top h2, stopper h3, constructed and arranged with the wash-stand A having slide-grooves and doors, all substantially as and for the ,purpose described and shown.
